Hi Dan,
As for the Xangsane usb cable | I know all of us tend to buy items by ear | but like many have generalized that tubes from brands like Amperex | Mullard | Telefunken as if they were the only ones worthy of ownership | I found other brands like Valvo and Lorenz both from Germany, and I absolutely adore with all of my heart the " Siemens E82CC Chrome Plates for jazz " to better said Telefunken | Brimar tubes to my ears and in my system are more musical and quieter than any Mullard I've ever heard or owned | brands like Tungsram ( black and chrome plated versions produced earlier on in the UK | later in Holland ) | Mazda " Long Plates " | CSF Thompson " France " | NEC and TEN Kobe from Japan all easily surpassed said earlier brands, in truth I believe it's due to people's lack of knowledge of these other brand's existence they weren't talked about, yet it appears that some of the deeper pocketed music lover I've befriended around the globe, only pursue said brands, and often leave those commonly found tubes for others to rifle through | which in hindsight knowing what I know now, is why they're still available | as these guys don't want them too begin with.
As I hear cables | cords, I generally try my best to gauge the sonic signature of each one of my components | only then decide which type of wiring is needed?, be it pure silver?, pure copper?, or silver plated copper?, and address their individual requirements as necessary. My own listening test between the Odin 2 Silver | Odin Gold versus said Accuphase 40th Anniversary clone, weren't even responsive as placed onto my Aurender music server, I mean literally, they offered not a single improvement sonically in said placement, as if they were both cheap ass stock cords, and like you, I ended up buying the $245 Odin Gold from RM Digital off the bat, but once again, in my system using my ears | heart's reactions to guide me, said 40th Anniversary offered me instant impact | gratitude from the very first note, whereas in my case everything NEARdost has been sold with the exception of two of their usb cables, which were both sealed away in one of my 6 stash boxes as of yesterday | of which I'll gladly gift to someone who's interested in them at a savings?, as I know neither is going to be allowed back into my system whatsoever.
